I think the two are oceans apart and the divide is growing. Look for the future TEc to de-emphasize its ties to the world wide Anglican Communion.

It would be best if whole Episcopal dioceses act to de-fund 815, but the threat of lawsuits, Title IV charges, and the overwhelming majority held by liberal bishops makes de-funding unlikely except on the small scale of individual congregants withholding their dollars.Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-78400311693611658712013-10-28T07:37:06.301-04:002013-10-28T07:37:06.301-04:00Christ and Scripture are at the core of the Nairob...Christ and Scripture are at the core of the Nairobi Communique.
